except for the whales that buy all the cosmetics too. Especially when Fortnite and Warframe are f2p and profitable.

people paying for the cosmetics, and the battlepasses are the profit generators for GaaS games. Destiny just keeps their expansion setup because it's even more extra money

think about it. Fortnite is free to play, and it's funded epic games basically singlehandedly since, all the aquasitions, unreal engine, their store. it's all fortnite money, it's all battlepass and microtransactions
